Tom Metzger, one of the most influential White supremacists in the U.S. for the past half-century, died on Nov. 4 at the age of 82. A notice was posted to his website and a paid obituary made it into the San Diego Union-Tribune. Metzger is credited as a leader of the new generation of White supremacists in the U.S., and a partial founder of the neo-Nazi skinhead movement. Despite his role in inspiring the modern White supremacy movement, Metzger apparently grew to feel that he didn’t fit in the with the movement in recent years. A Democrat, Metzger criticized the White supremacy movement of today as “being controlled by right-wing conservative elements” during an email interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune in 2019.
